Unreasonable logic. I think I know some about something about longhorn and microsoft's interfaces in general. They will follow similar GUI descriptions and learning it will be 100 times easier than shifting to Linux.

Im afraid most of the educational software taught at the school level is built for windows and wont support other OS's very well. So the primary thing is find out which software is needed by them and get those working on Linux. Not many school children are going to start out running command line programs, or coding in perl and C++. Most likely, they will browse, use rich text editors/spreadsheets, chat apart form educational software. Unless of course, we are talking higer grades, even then, not all of them are going to be computer professionals.

Nothing wrong in protecting yourself. Stop dissing them and try to outwit them if you care so much.
Had enough of this open source Vs. MS trash, stop the talking and just keep the actions speaking for themselves.
Conversely:
Once news of this laptop case leaks out, people transporting pizza are gonna have to carry their pizza's in suitcases to prevent them from being stolen.
Hi,
I was wondering if you could tak etime out for an ignorant guy and explain what the last line alluded to...."When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide, then I stop and I turn and I go for a ride"..also on a literal note I didnt get the "go for a ride" either, what ride?
thnaks.

I beg to disagree. You forgot to use "other factors remaining constant" which is implicit. So, other security factors being same, security through obscurity is definitely a plus.
As for D'owd, he might have vested interests, but quoting that certainly is'nt good argument for linux. If the back door can really be used to infiltrate, then either get a version that eliminates it, reduces risk or swtich to private vendors. Its never FUD when it comes to national security.
